Don't Curse the Darkness lyrics

Night has fallen on the planet

Like a shroud from pole to pole

The strong begin to stumble

In the shadows of their soul

Fear takes hold

The blood grows cold without a light

Then an angry voice crescendos

Acid words the dark ignores

Cursing and complaining

Never brought a ship to shore

But one small spark can

Flood the dark and night is gone

Don't curse the darkness

When you have the source of light

Don't curse the darkness

Will it lead the blind to sight?

Don't curse the darkness

Light a candle in the night

Are we part of the solution 

Or a critic in the crowd?

A militant torchbearer 

Burning down the devil's shroud

With love our aim and truth the flame, 

The dawn arrives

Don't curse the darkness

When you have the source of light

Don't curse the darkness

Will it lead the blind to sight?

Don't curse the darkness

Light a candle in the night

Is it hidden potential or a fearless spark?

A lamp on the path or a shot in the dark?

Is it misguided anger? Is it power concealed?

A wick never burned or a Savior revealed?

Don't curse the darkness

When you have the source of light

Don't curse the darkness

Will it lead the blind to sight?

Don't curse the darkness

When you have the source of light  

Don't curse the darkness

Will it lead the blind to sight?  

Don't curse the darkness  

Light a candle
